This sounds like it is along the lines of the Clear Hooters Horn discussion.... Balls and actuator for what? Dandy Dave!

Hi Dave I guess his balls have gone out of round or rusty and he is refering to the ones on a supermajor brake expander

Hi It may of helped if you said super major as the ordinary or power major does not have balls or an actuator it has shoes and cables. Not discs and so on like yours.
The other thing is as we are all over the world and the word we use in the U.K may mean something else in North America.
I am an English guy living in Canada and speak U.K English and Canadian English the two are a bit different. Dave may use different English words to us again depending where he is in the states and non of us would have a clue what he was on about.
For example An actuator up here in Canada is a hydraulic ram to most of the guys I fix stuff for and there are loads of other things to

.

Here in darkest Norfolk an actuator is an electric ram. But to answer the question, I think you will find Agriline does them.

I polished the ones in Nuffy by tumbling them in sand in a stone polisher, then polished the sockets with a wire brush on a drill.

Tis true, Fordson Major Diesel, and the Fordson Power Major have shoe Brakes. Most refer a Major as the FMD. The power as FPM and the Super is of course FSM. And from time to time you will see NP, which is for New Performance, with the last Supers built. Do I have it right fellers?

Not to "Break Your Balls", but it would have been clearer if you specified that the "Brake Balls and Actuators on your FSM." How do we know if you have the top cover off, and are fiddling with the ram and controls for the three point hitch? Or the power steering ram? Dandy Dave!

Yes Dave you do have that Right.
The guys in the dealerships up here use the abreviations to look up parts in Canada. its bl@#dy anoying when you go in and ask for fordson power major Parts and the snot nosed 18 year old says it does not exist

. but if you ask for FPM parts all the pictures appear from syber space

.
Some of the wreakers appear to think there is a SFPM as well . as they dont know the difference between power majors and super majors and combine the 2 tractors together . I had this with fenders for a super and they kept telling me they had them and when I looked they where for a power Major.
